Land on Vlasoff Cay and spend two hours enjoying the remote location. Swim in shallow water, relax on the sand, or snorkel in the surrounding reef. A gourmet picnic and sparkling wine are served under a beach umbrella, with beach chairs provided. Snorkelling gear and protective suits are available.
